Trusted tile repair in Melvich

Tile repair in Melvich, done in place

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. We regularly repair porcelain tiles, ceramic tiles and natural stone & granite, and the jobs we see most are cracked floor tiles and damaged tile edges.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Your questions about tile repair in Melvich

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Highland.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How much does tile repair cost in Melvich?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Porcelain tiles
  • Ceramic tiles
  • Floor and wall tiles
  • Marble
  • Natural stone & granite

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Melvich use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Choosing a repair company

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Melvich. The price reflects:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
